Ron Paul says State Department never considered whether Georgian aid could be better spent here
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) describes an exchange yesterday before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs when he asked a representative of the State Department whether they ever considered whether the aid money sent to Georgia could be better used to help people in the United States. Paul says the State Department official responded, “Nope, never thought of that.” Paul was speaking at a press conference on third-party presidential candidates at the National Press Club. (0:39)
